A Vision for 2010
A Quest for More is a book written by Paul Tripp. The subtitle of the book is Living for Something Bigger than You. We are using the book to keep us focused on our vision for 2010, which is, “Part of Something Bigger: Created for More.”
In the preface, Paul Tripp explains why he wrote the book (and why we are reading it):

“This entire book is meant to stimulate you to think about one central biblical concept, the kingdom of God.”

The “something bigger” that we are part of is what the Bible calls the kingdom of God.
Beginning Sunday, February 22, and going through Sunday, May 10, Ewan will preach on the topics covered in A Quest for More. Please purchase a copy of the book and begin reading it.
In addition to reading the book, it's important to complete the study guide. The study guide may be used by groups or individuals. You can download the study guide by clicking the link below.
Although the book has 18 chapters, the study guide has only 12 lessons (some lessons cover more than one chapter from the book).
The purpose of the study guide is to help you engage in guided reflection. Often times the busyness of our world crowds out time for reflection. The price we pay for not making time for reflection is high. If you are not a reflective person, your life will be governed by external forces pulling you (like work or family pressures) or internal forces driving you (like fear, anger, restlessness). Either way, you will not be free.
When we say that we are “Created for More” one thing we mean is that we are created to be free! We are created for more than enslavement to external forces pulling us or internal forces driving us.
Here is the most helpful way to engage with A Quest for More:

Prior to worship on Sunday, February 21, read chapters 1 and 2 of the book and complete Lesson 1 of the study guide. In other words, read the book and do the study guide before Ewan preaches on that week’s topic. The full schedule is below.

You really are Part of Something Bigger. And because God is so gracious and so kind, the bigger thing that you are part of is actually in service to you living a life that is both utterly free and utterly meaningful!
